muztagh 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Installing a forum isn't that hard, but it is hard to maintain it and attract visitors. I found forum is a very good way to increase the content of your site, and it also help you to get promoted by search engines if you have a busy forum wich is maintained well. But it is really hard to maintain it especially hard to fight the spammers. I have even closed one very well running PHPBB forum due to spammers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skedad 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 After using the Xisto forums for many months, I thought I would attempt to have one of my own... Little did I know, that I didn't have, well, any following what so ever.... I tried to just make it private and link it onto my site. I didn't really want to go and throw it out into the WWW without really having a few people on it and making it active.I had two people come in and say a few things, my wife and my sister! And they were happy and bias! So, I don't know if I will scrap it, it doesn't cost me anything, because I just went to invisionfree forums... Oddly enough, it seems like Xisto format, but I wonder if forums are just like myspace layouts: typical to default setups, and everything follows suit, and it is up to the moderator to make it look a bit different from the next forum.I enjoy(ed) creating many different icons and banners for it, but it has 0 traffic, and I can't even make myself content enough to keep adding to it... maybe I will just try again later after rethinking how it will look and feel.... and not try to be so 'that shouldn't go with my forum' feel, or I will not have any forum left to look at.

HateScape 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 If you would reccomend some forum software to someone, which one would it be?Im just wondering, there are soo much out there, free ones, paid ones... I would preferably install one on my web at final-design.net, currently im running some small forums there, but a solution with more options would be needed soon... so any suggestions?i would suggest smf(simple machine forum) becaus its open source and you can change the code.

Feelay 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 I would prefer learning PHP/SQL and some advanced CSS/HTML and coding your own that's the best thing to do because you'll have full knowledge about it, and it is fun coding it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skedad 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2008 I have tried a few different forums myself. I even have one installed through Xisto, too. But I just can't sit down and really customize it to my liking... and I don't really think it will catch on for my site. It is a family site, and I am trying to not make such boring stuff in them. I have my sister and my wife... and a few of their friends. It is just not as much fun as I was planning, so I will just try it again later.I know that I can keep up with Xisto and it's forums, because it is a site with a purpose. I am here to keep my hosting, and I can find TONS of topics to post in. I just try to keep it current.So I will probably try it again sometime, and I will be following this site to see if there are better and more popular ones to be a part of.- skedad - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
